The Tampa Bay Buccaneers ended the 2016 NFL season as the number two team in the NFC South — not good enough for a playoff spot, sadly, but a massive improvement over the five previous seasons when the Bucs either ended up in last place in the division, or tied for the last place on win-loss record.
So how much better will the Bucs be this year? ESPN asked its NFC South beat writers to analyse which divisional team improved the most over free agency, and two out of four chose the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
